Minority insert vetoed by DT
By Andrew Erskine
associate editor
Plans for a minority-run insert in the Daily Trojan were vetoed yesterday by the Daily Trojan’s top editors.
In a written statement, 11 of the top 12 Daily Trojan editors objected to the insert on the grounds that it would violate the general-interest nature of the Daily Trojan.
The statement was presented at a meeting attended by members of the Black Students Union, MECHA (the Chicano student group) and some Asian-American students (not representatives of the Asian-American Tutorial Project, as was reported in yesterday’s Daily Trojan.)
“A minority news insert is like any special interest insert in that it would appeal only to a very limited audience,” the statement said.
Joe Conner, BSU chairman and a proponent of the insert, said, “The whole premise that minority affairs is not relevant to the general student community is wrong.”
Journalism Council
Although the staff s decision is final for the rest of the semester, the Journalism Council, an advisory body consisting of students, faculty and Clarence Anderson, university editor, can vote to compel succeeding editors to accept the insert. The Journalism Council must, however, act upon an outside request.
The minority students complained that the Daily Trojan does not adequately cover minority news, and that it excludes minority viewpoints.
No classes on Veterans’ Day
University offices will be closed Monday in observance of Veterans’ Day. Most classes will not be conducted.
The Daily Trojan's feature magazine SoCal will not be published. The regular Daily Trojan will resume publication on Tuesday.
“It is very important that our minority perspectives not be censored,” Conner added. “In essence, you’re saying that minorities have no credibility.” Gomez said, “There are things relevant to minority affairs happening every day that minority students just don’t know about.” More input asked The staff statement suggested that the minority students attempt to utilize the Daily Trojan for the dissemination of minority news.
“Sadly, we have not been approached by any of those seeking the minority insert with offers to write columns, letters and/or news stories expressing the minority viewpoint,” the statement said.
Gomez replied that some articles have been submitted by minority students, but have not been printed.
Conner added, “Since the Daily Trojan is not read by minority students—except maybe for the sports page—even if news that spoke to minority students were put in, it would not be read.”
Staff dissenter
Tim Saasta, Daily Trojan sports editor and the only dissenting staff member, said it was difficult for minority students to become staff members.
“In effect, it is a closed shop,” he said. “There is a structural problem in the Daily Trojan that keeps minority students out.” Another objection the Daily Trojan staff had to the insert was that there may be a conflict concerning its autonomy between the insert editor and the Daily Trojan editor. Under present poliey, the editor is responsible for everything in the Daily Trojan, and this would presumably include the minority insert.
Gomez took issue with this, insistingthat she would take full responsibility for the insert.
“Although we made concessions, since it is a minorily paper, it would be under the control of the minorities,” she said.
Alternative suggested Another alternative suggested in the statement was that the minority group obtain outside

Lot attendant cheers students
By Ken Phillips
You’re late for class and you’re desperately searching for a parking place. The minutes are ticking away, when you suddenly spy a huge dirt and mud parking lot near 34th Street and McClin-tock Avenue. You’re saved.
But wait. A parking attendant tells you there is no parking in that area.
Hate and rage fill your heart and your head begins to swim.
But then along comes Terry. Terry Sandell, the jovial attendant with a smile as big as the parking area itself, says “Smile, turn left and come to me.”
All at once this man has turned your disgust into delight.
You realize that this guy is not some kind of ogre who wants to harass you.
Have a nice day
He’s doing his job to keep a clear pathway through the area for earthmoving equipment that is leveling off the lot so it can be paved for parking.
You also realize that if you had parked there you would be up
Romney praises Nixon’s efforts
GEORGE ROMNEY
“The President has changed the character of the world. He has made steps in the foundation of a generation of peace,” George Romney, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, said Tuesday in a speech sponsored by the Young Voters for the President.
One of the most important things Nixon has done is have effective communications with China and Russia, Romney said. “There will never be an end to the war unless we can have relations with China and Russia so if Russia does something against our best interests we can discuss it with China, or if China does something we can discuss it with Russia."
Another of Nixon's important
ideas was to give the United States a peace initiative, he said. “Nixon changed the ideas of our allies, like France and Great Britain, who didn’t think we wanted peace.”
Romney thinks the Revenue Sharing Act that the President will sign into law today is one of Nixon's most important domestic acts.
“The civil servants in Washington are making too many decisions that the mayors and governors should make. By centralizing decision-making you make it too top heavy for it to work. By decentralizing the decision-making you can give the money to people in a better position to solve the problems." he said.
to your ass in mud because ofthe recent rains.
Sandell gives directions to an adjacent parking lot and says, “Have a nice day.”
He obviously makes his job fun for himself and for all of those who come in contact with him
His congenial manner makes you think of a comedian, maybe Godfrey Cambridge or George Kirby.
Normally, Sandell can be found at Gate 1 at 34th place and Vermont Avenue. He has been working at the new parking area for another employee who is ill.
Likes his job
Sandell came to USC at first for a 3-month summer job, but he enjoyed the students so much that he decided to stay. That was
5 years ago.
He said that the students have been very cooperative and a lot of fun. He stressed, however, that he doesn’t let the fun interfere with his job or university functions.
Sandell says he has an agreement with the heavy equipment operators working in the area. “They don’t splash mud on me, and I don’t throw rocks at them,” he said.
He tries to alleviate some of the tensions of students bothered by the parking situation by joking with them.
When he saw several dental students, for instance, dressed
in their white uniforms and gingerly tiptoing through the mud, he asked where their Biz Bag
was.
More often than not, his comments leave people smiling and at least a bit appeased.
Wants to improve parking
The fun and games make the day go by quickly for Sandell, but he is concerned with the parking situation on campus.
He suggests that permits could be issued to allow entrance from Vermont or Jefferson so that the problem of getting across the muddy parking area would be alleviated.
He laughed when he said that he would like to be in charge of parking operations, but there was a note of seriousness in his comment.
When asked what he would like to see changed concerning his job, Sandell said that the “salary leaves a lot to be desired.”
He would also like to have a 1-hour lunch break and a parking operations tennis team to challenge all comers.
Interested in music
What does this parking lot attendant do in his spare time? He says that he likes chamber music. He owns a harpsichord, but doesn’t expect his first recital until 1975.
Sandell says that once he played the instrument, he was “hooked, like on a drug.”
Alumni to come home Saturday
The 25-year reunion of the Class.of 1947 will highlight this year’s Homecoming picnic in Alumni Park Saturday morning.
Tables for classes as far back as 1894 will be set up at the picnic, which will run from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
At 12:45 p.m. the Trojan Marching Band and Traveller
II will lead a procession to the Coliseum for the USC-Washington game.
